Bollyrics: Automatic Lyrics Generator for Romanised Hindi
This work addresses the problem of generating creative lyrics for Hindi songs, which is incremental as it applies existing techniques to a new language domain.
The authors tackled the lack of automatic lyric generation for Hindi songs by developing Bollyrics, a system for generating lyrics in romanized Hindi, achieving results that capture rhyming patterns as demonstrated through their publicly available dataset and code.
Song lyrics convey a meaningful story in a creative manner with complex rhythmic patterns. Researchers have been successful in generating and analyisng lyrics for poetry and songs in English and Chinese. But there are no works which explore the Hindi language datasets. Given the popularity of Hindi songs across the world and the ambiguous nature of romanized Hindi script, we propose Bollyrics, an automatic lyric generator for romanized Hindi songs. We propose simple techniques to capture rhyming patterns before and during the model training process in Hindi language. The dataset and codes are available publicly at https://github.com/lingo-iitgn/Bollyrics.
